INWIT Disputes TIM’s Attempt to Exit Tower Deal, Citing 2038 Lock-In and Strategic Role

An announcement from Inwit ( (IT:INW) ) is now available.

INWIT has rejected TIM’s unilateral attempt to terminate their long-term Master Service Agreement, asserting that contractual change-of-control clauses triggered in 2022 already extended the deal for both parties through 2038 and removed any termination right. The company says TIM’s move is legally ineffective and appears aimed at forcing a renegotiation of economic terms, and it plans to challenge the notice before all competent authorities to protect its and stakeholders’ interests.

Management stresses that the MSA underpins a single industrial transaction in which INWIT made large, long-payback investments that delivered roughly €5 billion in benefits to TIM, and that the contract’s economics are competitive and in line with international standards. INWIT also warns that any large-scale shift away from its towers would be industrially and economically irrational, requiring decades and billions of euros to replicate, harming 5G deployment, service quality and the environment due to extensive additional CO2 emissions.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:INW) stock is a Hold with a EUR7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Inwit stock, see the IT:INW Stock Forecast page.
